Other actions at the banquet program included the election of new chapter officers for school-year 2008-09. Jane Snead will succeed Caleb Keaton as president of the nationally recognized chapter.
“Glenn Stevens, Agricultural Education Instructor at the high school, serves as FFA advisor to the second largest chapter in South Carolina and one of the largest in the nation,” Parris said.
The mission of the FFA is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through Agricultural Education.
